In December, Trisha participated in a Christmas program put on by KEGy, a local Hungarian church here in Budapest. KEGy is the city church plant that our Budapest City team with Reachglobal of the EFCA leads. Within our mission organization there are technically three teams here in Budapest. There is the City Church Plant Team, the International Christian School of Budapest team, and our EFCA Reachglobal Europe Headquarters team.
God is doing amazing things through their church plant, and it was a real honor for Trisha to be part of the community choir that particpated in their special Christmas program. The goal of this choir was to bring people together in the community who love music, and enjoy singing. Praise God that through this choir, God is working in the hearts of some of the particpants and drawing them closer to Himself. There is once couple in particular that is really seeking answers to their personal spiritual questions, and God is using Mark and Jodi, the choir directors and our EFCA Reachglobal teammates to pursue answers to their spiritual questions. Praise God! The choir was a small part of the overal program that the church plant put together for Christmas. I was so excited to see that Mark, one of our Budapest City teammates posted this video of the Christmas program.
Seeing work like this keeps Bjorn and I on fire about our ministry at the International Christian School of Budapest. Mark and Jodi's kids attend ICSB, and it is a blessing for us to hear of the work that God has called them too. Their kids started in the Hungarian school system, but for personal reasons had to move their kids to ICSB this semester. Praise God that ICSB is in existence and allowing so many families to stay on the mission field and remain committed to the work that God has called them to.

January 2011
We love bundling the girls up and taking walks as a family!
Uncle Bruce Olsen came to Budapest while he was leading his Bethel University students on their International Business trip. It was so fun to get to see him and hang out for a couple days!
Little miss personality, AKA Alyssa Noelle makes us laugh all day long! She is crusing along in her development walking everywhere, talking, feeding herself with a spoon...wow..I mean...wow!She is now 14 months, and we are so thankful for her! It is hard to believe that this little munchkin is going to be a BIG SISTER! Yep, in July Baby Olsen #3 is due! :)
Lianna Joy, our champ. She is making HUGE gains in her development..and we are soooo grateful. Lianna just turned 4 years old a couple weeks ago, and it's perfect because 4 is her favorite number. Wherever she sees the number 4, on clocks, house numbers, anywhere..she makes sure to tell us that she sees the number 4. She is doing great identifying letters, and trying to talk more each day..and actually using new words that we've never heard her say before. PRAISE GOD!
Bjorn LOVES his girls..and of course so does Mommy. It has been so fun to see Lianna and Alyssa starting to play with each other more. Alyssa loves to chase Lianna and tickle her...it is soo funny. Lianna loves to bring Alyssa puppets for her to play with her. It will be fun to see how they both react to being big sisters in July.
